Last week we had two appointments. We had our anatomy scan on Monday the 26th, which was about a 45 minutes ultrasound session where they take like 90-100 ultrasound pictures of the baby-each organ, skeletal system, etc. The tech was guessing a girl as well :) We received about 13 of these ultrasounds. I haven't had time to scan them all, but here is one of her looking directly at the screen. She was moving a lot an kept putting her hands above her head. She was actually moving so much that we have to go back on Saturday, the 8th to get another anatomy scan done of her spine, because they didn't get a good picture of it.
On Wednesday we had our normal prenatal appointment where they listened to her heart and started us on the info packet for the labor and delivery! It was so exciting just to have reached the point where it starts becoming something that is ready to planned :) We will also be taking some of the classes as well because I've never been through full term labor before. We're doing the newborn class as well because although I've babysat since I was 12, have 3 younger brothers I watched over the years, and worked in a daycare , Josh has never babysat or even changed a diaper before in his life.
So week 21 went by smoothly and she continues to grow. I didn't have the right food to picture with :) but in week 21 she was as big as a spaghetti squash, about 8 inches and is supposed to weigh about a pound. In her anatomy scan, they estimated her at about 401 grams or about 14 oz. Here are some belly shots at 21 weeks :) I am actually starting to feel "round" and pregnant :)
